Meaning
Energy is a physical quantity that can heat or perform work on an object.
About Energy
- Energy is measured in Joules.
- Energy can be transferred from one Energy Store to another.
- Energy can be transferred by Heating, by Radiation/waves by Electricity or Mechanically (by the action of a force).
There are 8 energy stores.
- Thermal Energy Store
- Elastic Potential Energy Store
- Chemical Potential Energy Store
- Kinetic Energy Store
- Magnetic Potential Energy Store
- Electrostatic Potential Energy Store
- Nuclear Potential Energy Store
- Gravitational Potential Energy Store
